How Dangerous It Is to Indulge in Ambitious Dreams

Как опасно предаваться честолюбивым снам

Retrato de Fiódor Dostoievski, por Vasili Perov
byFyodor Dostoevsky

An illustrated humorous piece mixing prose and verse, published on 1 April 1846 in the satirical almanac Pervoe aprelya with drawings by Pavel Fedotov among others. It parodies a petty clerk's fantasies of grandeur. It survives as evidence of the young Dostoevsky's collaboration with Nekrasov's circle in the months of Poor Folk's success.
